Having trouble with arrays

38 New Member
Hi guys

I am trying to compare every row of mysql database against an array. My aim is to compute the euclidean distance. This is my reference array:

Array ( [0] => 2.5 [1] => 120 [2] => 128 [3] => 2 [4] => 1000 )

And i Have written the following to compute first the difference betwenn the element.However my reference array can only be compare from the element of table i.e array[3].

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. foreach($array as $i=>$value){
  2.  
  3.             $sum[][$i]=($array[$i+3]- $input_arrays[$i]);
  4.             }
  5.  
Any time i run it it is given wrong results.
The following is my entire code
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

Heya, poreko.

Given the example array you provided above:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Array ( [0] => 2.5 [1] => 120 [2] => 128 [3] => 2 [4] => 1000 )
  2.  
What should $sum look like when your script is finished operating on it?

the reference array looks quite strange... (in terms of PHP syntax—at least to me)

according to php.net array keys may be only integers or strings. is "[0]" really one of these? (commas are missing too)

regards

the array :Array ( [0] => 2.5 [1] => 120 [2] => 128 [3] => 2 [4] => 1000 ) must be substracted from the 3rd element of this array:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Array
  2. (
  3.     [0] => 1
  4.     [CODE] => 1
  5.     [1] => Sony
  6.     [BRAND] => Sony
  7.     [2] => BZ11MN
  8.     [MODEL] => BZ11MN
  9.     [3] => 2.5
  10.     [PROCESSOR (Ghz)] => 2.5
  11.     [4] => 200
  12.     [STORAGE (GB)] => 200
  13.     [5] => 126
  14.     [GRAPHIC CARD (MB)] => 126
  15.     [6] => 2.5
  16.     [BATTERY] => 2.5
  17.     [7] => 500
  18.     [PRICE] => 500
  19. )

Try using mysql_fetch_ass oc() instead of mysql_fetch_arr ay(). It will make your life a little easier (PHP: mysql_fetch_ass oc - Manual).

I'd probably approach it along these lines:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. $sum = array();
  2. $keys = array('PROCESSOR (Ghz)', 'STORAGE (GB)', 'etc.');
  3.  
  4. while( $row = $DB->FetchArray($query) )
  5. {
  6.   foreach( $keys as $key )
  7.   {
  8.     $sum[$key][] = (int) $row[$key] - $input_arrays[$key];
  9.   }
  10. }
